"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

They have to learn the hard way. People can't think that hard by and large.

Time and time again the crooks win because they are the best liars and they don't have any scruples. Until people feel the impact of poverty or supply chain disruption they are just gonna keep believing whatever they hear from the source their buddies at work tell them is legit.
